It’s pretty simple: I like that and do that a lot. Over some decades I’ve gained some experience in rock, pop, funk, surf, electronica, metal, both country & western, stuff more on the experimental side, and of course punkrock. I strive to expand that list quite a bit. I can read charts (as long as… Hi. I’m Boris. I’m gonna play the drums tonight. weiterlesen
Practice Diary
„Wer Arschflöhe hat …“
… der hat es richtig gut“: Wow, so eine KI singt ja den größten Irrsinn, wenn man sie danach fragt: Wer Arschflöhe hat / Der hat es richtig gut.Wer sich am Hintern kratzt / Fasst schnell frischen MutWer nicht gut sitzen kann / Der pinkelt halt im StehenUnd wenn es juckt und piekt / Dann… „Wer Arschflöhe hat …“ weiterlesen
John Fichte Trio: „Get it out“
It took some time, but now it is released: John Fichte Trio’s EP „Get it out“. Tracking began somewhat around March 2023. Drums for five tracks were finished in one day, I even found the time to do a few percussion overdubs here and there (bongo, cow bell, tambourine, maybe some shakers). Drums, bass and… John Fichte Trio: „Get it out“ weiterlesen
POEMPL: „4830“ (Punkrock EP)
24 hours, 6 songs: We got together under the objective not to spend more hours than just 4 per song – and this included writing the material, think of the lyrics and learning to play that song. Another objective was to drink as much beer as possible. And so we did. We called the band… POEMPL: „4830“ (Punkrock EP) weiterlesen
Disco, Disco, Disco: „Lift off (Moon RMX)“
Recently, I manoeuvred myself into the field of disco music. It turned out that there is more to it than the disco beat we all now and have to play from time to time. Not that there would be more beats – even Steve Gadd does little to alter the material. Main challenge is to… Disco, Disco, Disco: „Lift off (Moon RMX)“ weiterlesen
Mir first drum cover
I just found out how to integrate iPhone vids into the DAW. This gives me the opportunity of doing „drum covers“. So here is my very first attempt: a random song of a band, I usually don’t listen to – but is has handclaps and I also wanted to use the SPD/SX. Looks shit, but,… Mir first drum cover weiterlesen
Brushes for Rudi Protrudi
It is not often the case that I’m asked to play brushes. When that happens I have to run and get my shit back together. I ain’t no expert on playing the brushes (well, who is?) but I started to like them. There are a lot of different techniques to choose from – and in… Brushes for Rudi Protrudi weiterlesen
Percussive Dance Theatre
Three days in a row at Theaterforum Kreuzberg: In March 2023 the Italian dance group „Gut Reaction“ brought their production „HUMANT“ once again on stage. This event was sidelined by a group of drum and dance student who performed a piece as an opening act. I had the pleasure to be one of them. The… Percussive Dance Theatre weiterlesen
Reference: The Inside Tracks
Here is an old one I still like a lot. It must have been around 2015 when „The Inside Tracks“ played the Postbahnhof drung some sort of „art fair“ or something. It was a rather weird experience I might tell you about another time. For me it was the first time I – coming from… Reference: The Inside Tracks weiterlesen
Gear
Here is where I spend quite some time: What you see is a Gretsch USA kit. It doesn’t have the famous round badges like the vintage ones have. But it sure does sound great. It is the sound of thunder, to be exact. Most of the time I use a Ludwig Black Beauty 6″5 that… Gear weiterlesen
